coining under any of the eight following heads : —

(a) Abstracts of the Monastic Chartularies, and of Ancient Family Deeds, with
the names of witnesses and fac-similies of seals ; Genealogies of Nobility
and Gentry (accompanied by proofs), Heraldic Visitations, and other

whom five shall be trustees of the William Salt Library, and nominated by
them, from time to time, and five shall be elected at an Annual Meeting of
the Subscribers. The Council shall be empowered to delegate, if they see fit,
the selection of the papers to be printed, to an Editorial Committee. Of the
Council, three shall be a quorum, and in case of equality of votes, their
Chairman shall have a casting vote.

IV.— The Officers of the Society shall be a Treasurer, a Secretary, and an Auditor,
to be appointed by the Council. These Offices shall be honorary, but the
Council shall have power to appoint an Assistant Secretary to be paid at the
discretion of the Council, as the nature of his duties may warrant.

V. — The Subscription shall be One Guinea annually, to be paid in advance, upon the

first of January in each year, and such annual payment shall entitle each

Subscriber to the volume issued for the year of such subscription. Any

Subscriber shall be permitted to withdraw from the Society by giving notice of

his intention three months before the termination of any year of Subscription.

GENERAL MEETING, 14TH OCTOBER, 1890.

The Twelfth Annual Meeting of the Society was held at the
William Salt Library, Stafford, on Tuesday, the 14th October,
1890, The Eight Hon. Lord Wrottesley in the Chair. There were
also present: The Venerable Archdeacon Lane, Major-General
Edmund Manningham Buller, Major-General the Hon. George
Wrottesley (Honorary Secretary), Mr. W. Spooner Brough of Leek,
Mr. W. F. Marsh Jackson, Mr. F. C. Perry, Mr. W. Morgan, Mr.
Nayler, the Eev. F. P. Parker, Eector of Colton, Mr. Francis
Whitgreave of Burton Manor, Mr. Mazzinghi, Assistant Secretary,
and others.

The following Eeport of the Editorial Committee was read to
the Meeting by the Honorary Secretary : —

REPORT FOE THE YEAR 1889-90

The Editorial Committee have to report that Volume X. of
Staffordshire Collections was issued to the subscribers early
in the present year, and that Volume XI. is in the press,
about one-half of it having been printed. Its contents will
consist of Extracts from the Plea Rolls of the reign of
Edward III., which have been made by the Honorary
Secretary, and a Chartulary of Trentham Priory, which has
been compiled for the Society by the Rev. F. Parker. As
no contributor came forward for Part II. of the new Volume,
it was decided to continue the abstracts of the Staffordshire
Fines, which had been made for the late Mr. William Salt,
and these have been abstracted for the Society from tho
reign of Edward III. to the close of the reign of Henry
VIII., and will be printed in the forthcoming Volume.

As it was feared that the funds at the disposal of the Society
would not be sufficient to pay for the cost of abstracting
Records sufficient to complete the new Volume up to 300
pages, a sum of £10 was provided by a member of the
Society, on the understanding that it was done anonymously,
and that his name should not be divulged; the total ex-
penditure for abstracts of Records has been £20.

At the General Meeting of last year, it was decided to subscribe a
sum of £26 annually, for two years, as a contribution to the
Index Society in printing the Indexes of wills at Lichfield.
At the time this subscription was settled, it was expected that
the Archaeological Societies of Shropshire and Derbyshire,
who were equally interested in the Indexes, would contribute
their quota towards the attainment of the same object, but the
Derbyshire Society has not responded to the invitation sent to
them, and the consequence is, that the work has not made as
much progress as was expected. Eight sheets or 128 pages
were issued to the subscribers last year, and eight additional
sheets will be issued in a few days. Mr. Phil limore, in reply
to a letter from the Honorary Secretary, states that the two
years' subscription of the Society will pay for twenty sheets,
and that eighteen sheets are in print, bringing the work down
to letter M of the 4th Series, A.D. 1562-1624, and that they
have yet to print the remainder of the alphabet for this
Series, and also Series Y, A.D. 1625-52, and the Peculiars,
and he adds that the Series cannot be completed within the
twenty sheets for which the Society subscribed, but he
hoped that they would follow the example of the Shropshire
Society and subscribe to the end. The question now arises,
to what further extent the Society will subscribe to the
work in question ; the opinion of the Committee, based on
what they have been able to effect this year by an expenditure
of £20 only at the Record Office, is that the money now
given to the Index Society could be better expended at the
Record Office in continuing the series of Staffordshire
Records, from the point at which they were left by the late
Mr. William Salt, and they now bring the matter before the
Meeting for their decision.

The balance sheet shows an excess of income over expenditure of
£18, notwithstanding the payment of £26 to the Hakiayt
Society for the Indexes of the Lichfield wills.

Two subscribers have died during the past year, and one new sub-
scriber has joined the Society, the net loss is therefore one.

The accounts for the past year, viz., from the 15th September,
1889, to the 15th September, 1890, were laid before the Meeting,
and were passed; they -showed a balance of £18 Is. 9d. in favour
of the Society.

A discussion then arose respecting the future payments to be
made to the Index Society, and it was finally decided to offer to
Mr. Phillimore a sum of £15 annually, for the next two years, in
lieu of paying the remaining sum of £26 in one year ; but without
any engagement to continue the payment after the second of those
years.

A circular by Mr. Simms, of Newcastle, requesting the support
of the Society in bringing out a Bibliography of Staffordshire on
an extensive scale, was laid before the Meeting ; but action upon
it was postponed.

It was agreed that future meetings of the Society should be
held at 1.45 p.m., the Council to meet at 1 p.m.

Mr. Harston was appointed Treasurer to the Society, in place
of the late Mr. Seargeant, who died in June, 1890.

The Assistant Secretary handed in a list of the Volumes of
Staffordshire Collections now in his custody — by which it appeared
that the Society possessed : —

30 copies of Vol. II.
1 copy of Vol. III.
16 copies of Vol. IV.
3 copies of Part I "[

n)

19 copies of Part
11 copies of Part I "1

19 copies of Part II J VoL YL
24 copies of Vol. VII.

20 copies of Vol. VIII.
33 copies of Vol. IX.
36 copies of Vol. X.

and nine copies of the First Instalment of Indexes of Lichfield
wills.

On a consideration of the above List, it was decided that the
next issue, after the forthcoming Volume, should consist of 225
copies only, in lieu of 250.

Kahguineus) and heir of Gilbert. He was really his great grand-son. Gilbert had

pilgrims who were unknown to her, and that a quarrel having arisen between,

committed by the said Thomas, and they stated that the said tenements are
the same as those now in question, and they pleaded that they held them at
common law by virtue of the said deed, and that this suit could not be tried
in the aforesaid court. And John le Bakestere did not deny that the said
Hugh was formerly lord of the manor, or that the tenements were in the

acres of land in Mere near Staundon and the third part of the manor of Cherle-
ton near Staundon, which for certain causes had been returned into his chancery,

cause why the said tenements should not remain to the said John son of
Vivian after the death of the said Vivian, son of Robert de Staundon. The
Sheriff was therefore ordered to summon the said Thomas and Vivian
son of Vivian for the morrow of the Purification, m. 533.

At the back of the same membrane is a similar writ forwarding a trans-
script of a fine levied at the same date between the same parties and to the
same tenor respecting the manor of Staundon and advowson of the church of

road leading from Beffecote to Great Onne, and so across the road descending
towards the north as far as a place called Gosemere. A day was given to the parties
at the Quindene of Trinity. A postscript shows the process was continued until
Trinity term, 8 E. Ill, when one Richard de Lutter worth appeared as attorney
for the Abbot of St. Ebrulph, and the Abbot of Build was objected that the said
Richard held no warrant as attorney for the Abbot, and a scrutiny of the previous
Rolls being made the said Richard could show no warrant, and the Abbot of
Buildwas prayed for judgment in his favour, which was granted, and the said
Richard was committed to the Fleet prison on account of the deception he
had practised on the Court. A further postscript on the back of the membrane
shows that the King pardoned the said Richard by Close Writ dated
from Nottingham, 16th July, 8 E. Ill, and sent a writ to the justices dated
from Durham, 20th June, 9 E. Ill, by which permission was given to the said
Richard to exercise his office of attorney as before. A later writ dated 16th
March, 10 E. Ill, commands the justices not to refuse the Abbot of St. Ebrulph

King's Letters Patent which stated that the King had granted permission to
Hervey de Staunton, Clerk, to give and assign the said land and advowson to
the said Master and Scholars and their successors in perpetuity and the said
Hervey had died before the gift had been made, and as Alexander de Walsham
the kinsman and heir of the said Hervey wished to carry out the will of the
defunct, the King had given him permission to grant the said land and
advowson, as aforesaid, and he also gave licence to the Master and Scholars
to accept the gift notwithstanding the statutes of mortmain. And he pro-
duced a close writ to the justices to the same effect. A fine was therefore
levied between the parties, m. 144.

1 It was doubtless compromised. By the fine in question, Vivian de Staundon
had disinherited his eldest son's issue, and Ealph de Stafford, the superior lord, had
taken the part of the rightful heir by blood, who was grandson of the Vivian who
had levied the fine, being the son of another Vivian, who had been killed in an
affray with the Hastangs in 12 E. II. See p. 29 of vol. x of Staff. Coll.

2 No further notice of this suit occurs. It was probably dropped at the same
date, as the compromise respecting the inheritance of Vivian de Staundon, for it
will be noted that Henry de Kerswall was interested in the Staundon Plea as a
remainderman named in the Fine. See p. 35, ante.

Staff. A precept had been sent to the Sheriff, that whereas the Abbess
of Polesworth had recovered in 14 E. II, against William de Ippestones at
that time Parson of the Church of Eyton, an annual rent of 20 marks to be
paid in perpetuity by the Parsons of that church, and the said William was
now dead and one Thomas de Bruynton was now Parson of the said Church

Thomas to show cause wherefore 170 marks should not be levied from the
lands and chattels of the said Thomas, and the parties now appeared, and the
Abbess prayed for execution of the judgement, and the said Thomas pleaded
that at the time of the judgement, he himself was Parson of the Church on the
presentation of the true patron, and the said William at that time was not
therefore Parson of the Church, and this he was prepared to prove.

And the Abbess stated that at the date of the judgement, viz., at the
Octaves of the Purification, 14 E. II, the said William was the acknowledged
Parson of the Church and appealed to a jury, which was to be summoned for
the Quindene of Michaelmas. A postscript states that the suit was trans-
ferred at Hillary term, 7 E. Ill, to be heard at Tamworth by writ of nisi
priiis, before William de Herle, and the said William de Herle before whom
the case had been heard associated with Kalph Basset, Knight, returned the
verdict of a jury which stated the said William de Ippestanes at the Octaves
of the Purification, 14 Ed. II, was the acknowledged Parson of the Church of
Eyton. The judgment of the Court is therefore to be executed. A further
postscript states that at three weeks from Michaelmas 7 Ed. Ill, the King sent
a writ to William de Herle to stop the proceedings taken before him and to
send the case coram Rege. m. 113.

they had destroyed his growing crops at Eccleshall to the value of £40 by

place where the Bishop complained of the trespass, they had a right of
common after the corn was reaped and carried, and until it was resown, and

wife of Thomas de Lee, for the third part of the manors of Stanton-upon
Hynehetli and Preston-on-the-Were, which they claimed as the dower of
Matilda. Petronella did not appear, and had previously made default, and
the dower had been taken into the King's hand. It was therefore considered

Staff. Roger, the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, sued Thomas Hastang,
Chivaler, to give up to him the custody of the land and heir of John, son of

they should warrant to them two parts of half the manor of Derley, in co.

did not appear, and the Sheriff had been ordered to take into the King's

had been appraised by a jury at 645. 6d., and to summon them for the morrow
of St. Martin, m. 213.

Staff. Derb. John de Beaufey sued Eobert Tochet in a plea that he should

recover seisin of the tenements, but as there might have been collusion and
fraud between the parties against the Statute of Mortmain, the Sheriff was
ordered to summon a jury to be at York at a month from Michaelmas to
make recognition as to the right of the Abbot, and who was the superior lord,
and in the meantime the tenements were taken into the King's hand. A
postscript states that the process was continued at York and moved by writ

Kings Edward, the King's grandfather, and that there had been no fraud or
collusion between the parties, and the Sheriff returned that there were no
other lords either mediate or immediate, The Abbot therefore recovers
seisin, m. 284, dorso.

Staff. John de Ipstanes, Chivaler, was summoned to answer the plea of
John de Weston under Brewode, Chyvaler, and William, son of Peter de
Joneston, that he should permit them to present a fit person to the Church of
Blemunhulle (Blymhill), and they stated that one John Bagod was seized of
the Manor of Blemunhull, to which the Church was appurtenant , and had
presented to it one Herbert de Blakenhale, who was instituted temp. Hen. III.,
and from the said John the right descended to Sarra, Margaret, Joan, and
Philippa, his daughters and heirs, between whom the Manor wTas divided and
the right of presentation remained in common between them, and the said
Sarra married one William de Ipstanes, and Margaret married one Ealph de
Coven, and Joan married Eichard de Pycheford, and Philippa married
Geoffrey de Bromley e, and after the death of the said Herbert, the said
William de Ipstanes, Sarra, Ealph, Margaret, Joan, Geoffrey, and Philippa
in right of the four sisters and co-heirs, presented one Thomas Personessone,
who was instituted temp. Hen. III., and after his death the same patrons pre-
sented one Walter de Lega who was admitted and instituted temp. E. I. ; and

from Sarra her right descended to one John de Ipstanes, as son and heir,
and from the said John to one William de Ipstanes. And from the said
Margaret her right descended to Alice, Margaret, and Phillippa as her
daughters and heirs, between whom her purparty of the Manor was divided,
and her right to present remained in common between them, and the said
Alice married Thomas de la Hyde, and the said Margaret, daughter of
Margaret, married Kobert Strech, and from the said Margaret, daughter of
Margaret, her right descended to one Ralph Streche as son and heir, and
from the said Joan her right descended to one Roger de Pycheford as son and
heir, and from the said Philippa her right descended to one Robert de Brom-
ley e as son and heir, and the Church being vacant after the death of the said
Walter, a contention arose respecting the right of presentation between the
said William de Ipstanes, son of John de Ipstanes, Thomas de la Hyde, Ralph
Strech, son of Alice (sic), Henry de Wyvereston, Roger de Pycheford, and
Robert de Bromleye, and a concord was made between them by which the
said William de Ipstanes should present at that vacancy, and tne said Thomas
de la Hyde, and Ralph Streche, and Henry de Wyvereston, and the heirs of
the said Alice, wife of the said Thomas, and of Ralph Streche, and Philippa,
the wife of the said Henry, at the second vacancy, and at the third vacancy,
when it should fall due, the said Roger de Pycheford and his heirs should have
the presentation, and at the fourth vacancy the said Robert de Bromley and his
heirs should present, and so in turn, they should present in the above form in
perpetuity. And the said William de Ipstanes then presented one Roger
de Staundon, who was instituted temp. E. I., and the Church was now
vacant by his death. And from the said Alice, wife of Thomas de la Hyde,
the right of her purparty descended to one Thomas, as son and heir, who had
enfeoffed the said John de Weston, the plaintiff', of his purparty, to be held
by him and his heirs for ever. And from the said Ralphe Streche, the
right of his purparty descended to one Robert Streche, as son and heir, who
had enfeoffed the said John de Weston of it, in the same way. And from the
said Philippa, daughter of Margaret the right of her purparty had descended
to a certain Rose and Pavia as daughters and heirs, between whom it was
divided, their right of presentation remaining in common, and the said Rose
and Pavia had severally enfeoffed the said William, son of Peter de Joueston,
the other plaintiff, of their purparty, and right of presentation, to be held by him
and his heirs for ever. And because this is the second vacancy after the above
concord it appertained to the heirs of the said Alice, Margaret, daughter
of Margaret, and Philippa, daughter of Margaret, whose status in the
said manor, John and William, the two plaintiffs, now hold, to present the
second turn to the said Church ; and the said John de Ipstanes unjustly
impeded them, for which they claimed £200 damages. John de Ipstanes
admitted the descent of the manor as above described, but stated that the
advowson had been wholly assigned to the purparty of the said Sarra, and
that she had presented Thomas Personessone after the death of the said
Herbert in her own right, and he had been instituted on the presentation of
the said William de Ipstanes and Sarra, and that her right had descended to
one John de Ipstanes, as son and heir, and from the said John to one William
de Ipstanes, who was under age and in the custody of Adam de Chetwynde,
who also held the custody of his purparty of the manor, and that Adam, on
a vacancy occurring by the death of Thomas Personessone had presented the said
Walter de Lega, and after the death of the said Walter, the said William de
Ipstanes, being of full age, in his own right, had presented the said Roger de
Staundon, and from the said William de Ipstanes, the right of his purparty
descended to John de Ipstanes, who now sues, and for that reason it now
pertained to the said John to present to the Church. A day was given to
the parties to hear judgment at the Octaves of Holy Trinity, on which day
the suit was adjourned to the Octaves of St. Michael, m. 304.

Chaplain, plaintiff, and William, son of William le Champioun, of Little
Sardon, and others, repeating tenements in Stretton, near Brewode, is respited
till the Monday after the Feast of St. Peter ad Vincula, through the defect of
Eoger de Picheford, A_dam be Morton, John de Oohton, John de Covene,
Robert de Congreve, Robert de Elmedon, Robert de Lynhull, John de
Brougton, Richard on the hulle of Bradeley, William de Shradicote, Richard
Kery, of Ricardescote, Roger de Ovyoteshay, and Adam Henry of Shradicote,
who never appeared. The Sheriff was therefore ordered to arrest them. m. 1 5.

Staff. The assize between Joan, daughter of Adam de Acton, and John
de Parva Barre respecting tenements in Little Barre, was respited to the same
date through the default of William de Boweles, Geoffrey Leveson, and other
recognitors, who never appeared. The Sheriff was therefore ordered to arrest
them. m. 15.

Staff. An assize, etc., of Henry, son of William de Tettesworth, had un-
justly disseised Ralph de Tesse worth of two messuages and two bovates of
land in Waturfal. Henry did not appear, and the assize was taken in his
absence. The jury found in favour of Ralph and assessed his damages at 2s.
And as they stated that the disseisin was made vi et armis, the Sheriff was
ordered to arrest the said Henry. A postscript says that Henry afterwards
appeared and made fine with the King at 3s. \d. m. 15.

Staff. An assize, etc., of Thomas le Hunte of Wolvesbrugge, and
Edmund, his brother, Robert Coyne, Robert Dun, of Draycote Wodehouses,
and two others named, had unjustly disseised Ralph de Shepeye, and Alice
his wife, of an acre of land and an acre of pasture in Draycote-under-Nedwode.
None of the defendants appeared and the assize was taken in their absence.
The jury found in favour of Ralph and Alice, and assessed their damages at
13s. 4d. m. 15.

Staff. An assize, etc., if William le Knyght, of Eyton, John, son of John
de Brornleye, of Little Onne, and Alice his wife, and William, son of the said
John and Alice, William de Fynchenefelde and Henry le Prestemon, of Eyton,
had unjustly disseised William, son of William le Knyght, of Eyton, of a moiety
of 18 acres in Little Onne. John, son of John, answered for all the defen-
dants, and as tenant, and stated he had entered by the said William, son of
William, and had done him no injury. The jury stated that the said William
le Knyght, John, and Henry, had unjustly disseised the said William, son of
William, but that Alice and the others had done him no injury. He is there-
fore to recover seisin, and his damages were taxed at 6s. 8d. m. 15.

Staff. An assize, etc., if Roger, the Bishop of Coventry and Lychfeld,
Richard le Neveu, junior, John Mounyng, and William le Rydere, had unjustly
disseised Robert, son of Ralph de Huntyndon of his common of pasture in
Canokbury and Ruggele appurtenant to his freehold in Huntyndon, viz., in
common of pasture in 1,01)0 acres of wood, and 1,000 acres of pasture, with all
manner of animals. Adam le Arblaster appeared for the defendants and
for the Bishop as tenant, and stated that the vill was called Cannokbury, and
that the wood and pasture in question was in Cannokbury, and not in
Canokbury, and as the said Robert could not deny that the vill was called
Cannokbury, the suit was dismissed.1 m. 15, dorso.

1 Such a decision as this could hardly be given bond fide, considering the diver-
sity in the spelling of names at this date. William de Shareshull does not bear a
high character for integrity, and the Bishop had probably bribed him to dismiss the
case on a technical point.

46 EXTKACTS FEOM THE PLEA ROLLS.

Staff. Philip de Ipstanes, who had arraigned an assize of novel disseisin

a clause of warranty, and he called to warranty John, son of John de Whiston,
who was under age and in the custody of John de Whetehale, and his lands
were in the custody of Adam de Shareshull and Rose, his wife. The Sheriff
was therefore ordered to summon the said custodes for the Octaves of Hillary,

same date. A postscript states the Sheriff sent no writ at Hillary term and
the suit was adjourned to the Quindene of Easter, m. 177, dorso.

Staff. Joan de Greseleie sued John de Swynnerton, Chivaler, William, son
and heir of Robert Champioun, Robert le Mareschal, and Roger de Tydenesore

dorso.

Burton and Alice, his wife, for 6 acres of land, and 80 acres of pasture, and

the process was continued till Michaelmas term, 11 E. III., when it was
transferred by writ of nisi prius to be heard at Lichfield, before Eoger

dower of Rose, of the dotation of John de Whiston, her former husband.

the said Henry and of William, his son and heir, should descend to the said
Henry, son of William, son and heir of the said William, son of Henry,
according to the form of gift.

held them with one, Mariota, his wife, who was not named in the writ. As
Henry could not deny this, the suit was dismissed, m. 263.

Staff. William, son of Richard de Pirye, sued John, son of Richard de

William, his son and heir, and from William, who died without issue, to one,
Henry, his brother and heir, and from Henry, to one, Richard, as son and

Staff. Hugh de Wrottesleye sued John de Tettebury and Joan, his wife,
in a plea that whereas it had been provided by Statute that the custodes of
lands and tenements which were held in soccage should render a reasonable
account of the issues of the said lands and tenements to the heirs of the same

the same by reason of the minority of the heir, the said John and Joan
refused to give any account for lands and tenements in Pateshull,1 which

by hereditary right from his father, and to make the return at three weeks
from Easter last.1 And both the Sheriffs had returned the writs reached
them too late, and they were ordered to make the returns on the Octaves of
Hillary, and the Sheriff of Staffordshire now returned that the said William
de Fronie, the husband of Alice, never held a messuage or any land or pasture
in the said villa, but that he held in them 60s. of rent only, and the Sheriff of
co. Hereford returned that having made diligent enquiry as to the lands which

death to Henry, son of Richard de Curzon, and his issue, and which, after the
death of the said Richard, Alianora, and Henry should descend to him as
son and heir of the said Henry. Thomas and Margaret pleaded they only
held their tenements at the will of one William atte Barre, and Robert and
Roger stated that Henry de Curzon the father of Stephen had enfeoffed
them in the tenements claimed from them, and they produced the deeds of
Henry to that effect ; and as it was testified that the plaintiff, Stephen was
under age, and could not, therefore, contest the validity of the deeds, the

two oxen, and two cows, for which he claimed ,£100 as damages. William
for himself and the other defendants, justified the distraint, and stated that one
Richard de Bredon held of him, and Lucy his wife, as of the right of Lucy, a
messuage and a carucate of land in Morleby homage and fealty and the service
of 9s. 8d. per annum ; and the said Richard had enfeoffed in the tenements
one William de Okovere and Laurence his brother, and the said William and
Laurence had attorned themselves to him and the said Lucy, so that they had
been seised of the above rent by the hands of the said William and Laurence,
all the lifetime of William, and after his death, by the hands of the said
Laurence, until two years before ; and because the homage of the said
Laurence due after the death of the said William de Okovere was in arrear,
they had taken the cattle which were within their fee, as was lawful. Roger
pleaded that the place where the cattle were taken was outside the fee of the
said William de Muston and Lucy, and appealed to a jury which is to be
summoned for the Octaves of Michaelmas, m. 215.

Staff. William de Stafford, senior, sued James de Stafford, Chivaler, for
the manor of Sondon (Sandon), as his right and inheritance, and of which
the said James had unjustly disseised William de Stafford, his father, whose
heir he is.

James appeared by attorney and stated that the said William could make
no claim to the manor by the seisin of his father, William, because the said
William, his father, had granted the manor by deed to him and to Margaret,
formerly his wife, to be held by them and the heirs of their bodies, and he
produced the deed which contained a clause of warranty, and he pleaded that
the said William being bound to warrant the manor to him, could not maintain
the present action. A day was given to the parties to hear judgment on this
plea at the Quindene of Hillary. A postscript shows repeated adjournments
of the cause up to Trinity term, 10 E. Ill, when the Sheriff was ordered to
summon a jury for the Morrow of St. Martin following, to make recognition
whether the said James had entered by the deed and feoffment of William de

disseisin which John de Valoignes had unjustly made of Gunnora de
Valoignes, the grandmother of Agnes, whose heir she is, and they stated that
the said Gunnora was seised of the tenements in demesne as of fee in the
time of King Edward, the King's grandfather, and from Gunnora the right
descended to John, her son and heir, and from John to Agnes who now sues
as his daughter and heir.

Hugh and Margaret appeared by attorney and stated that the said
tenements, with others, were formerly in the seisin of one Gilbert de Clare,
the Earl of Gloucester, and who died seised of them, and after his death they
descended to Elizabeth de Burgo, Alianora, wife of William la Zouche,
and to Margaret, the defendant, as his daughters and heirs, and the tene-
ments in question, with others, were assigned to Margaret as her purparty of
the inheritance, and they pleaded they could not answer the plea without
their coparceners. The cause was therefore adjourned to the Quindene of
Hillary, when the coparceners were to be summoned. A postscript shews
that the process was continued up to Michaelmas, 12 E. Ill, when the
Sheriff of Norfolk returned that the said William and Alianora were dead,
and the cause was adjourned to the following Easter term, at which date
Hugh and Margaret prayed the help of the Court to enforce the attendance

Roger de Eyncourt and Matilda, his wife, and Robert de Paveley and Agnes,
his wife, claimed against them, as the right of the said Matilda, wife of
Roger, and of Agnes. The Earl did not appear, and the Sheriff returned the
writ reached him too late. He was therefore ordered to summon the Earl

Sheriff made no return to the writ, and the case was adjourned to the

and for which he claimed 100s. as damages, and he produced the indenture
containing the above provisions. John, son of Robert, appeared by attorney
and could not deny his deed, and it was therefore considered that John de Pyrie
should recover his debt and 20s. as damages. A postscript states that at the
following Michaelmas term, John de Pyrie appeared and stated that the
defendant had not satisfied his debt and applied for a writ of " elegit " which

Staff. The Sub Prior and Convent of Tuttebury were summoned to an-
swer Henry, Earl of Lancastre, in a plea that they should permit him to
present a fit person to the Priory of Tuttebiri which was vacant, and he stated
that he was seised of the advowson of the Priory and had presented to it
one John de St. Albin in the present reign, and by whose resignation the
Priory was now vacant, and the said Sub Prior and Convent impeded the
presentation for which he claimed ,£1,000 as damages.

And the Sub Prior and Convent appeared by Johnde Percy, their attorney,
and stated that they had the election of their Prior, and in the reign of King
Edward I they had elected one Walter le Mouner, a monk of the Convent,
and had presented him to Thomas, at that time Earl of Lancastre, the patron,
who had admitted him as the elect of the Sub Prior and Convent, and had
finally presented him to the Ordinary as their election, and he had been ad-
mitted and instituted in the said reign. And as regarded the presentation
made of the said John de St. Albin by the Earl, they stated that, at that
vacancy, the Sub Prior and Convent had elected as Prior one Giles de
Longeford, a monk of the Convent, and had presented him to the Earl who
had refused to admit him, and on the mission of the Abbot super Dynarn
had presented the said John de St. Albin, who had been admitted and in-
stalled on his presentation, and the said Sub Prior and Convent had moved
a plea in Court Christian against the said John de St. Albin, and had appealed
him before the Roman Curia, and the said plea was now pending ; and the said
John perceiving that the judgment would be against him and that he would be
adjudicated an intruder, had resigned the Priory, and it was through his
resignation that the Priory was vacant, and they prayed judgment whether
the Earl could claim to present whilst the above plea was pending and on
the resignation of an intruder.

And the Earl stated that the Sub Prior and Convent did not deny that
he was patron of the Priory and he pleaded that Walter le Mouner had
been admitted and installed on the presentation of Earl Thomas simply,
and not by a previous election of the Sub Prior and Convent, and he ap-
pealed to a jury which is to be summoned for the Quindene of Easter. A
postscript states that the suit was adjourned till the following Trinity terni^
when the Earl appeared by his attorney, but the Sub Prior and Convent made
no appearance. A verdict was therefore given in favor of the Earl, and a

twenty acres of meadow, and forty acres of wood, viz., in two parts of the
land after the corn was carried, and until the land was resown, and in a third
part of the land which lay fallow each year for the whole year, and in the
meadow land each year after the hay was reaped until the Feast of the Puri-
fication of the Blessed Mary, and in the wood, each year for the whole year
with all kind of cattle. The Abbot did not appear, but the said John
answered for him as Bailiff, and for the Abbot also as tenant, and stated that
the said Adam never was seised of the common of pasture in question. And
he put himself on the assize. The jury found that the said Adam had been
seised of the common of pasture claimed as appurtenant to his freehold in the
vill of Lappeleye, until the said Baldwin and John de Gnoushale had ejected
him " m et armis," and they assessed his damages at 10 marks. And they
said that the Abbot took no part in the forcible disseisin. The said Adam is
therefore, to recover seisin, and the Sheriff was ordered to arrest the said
Baldwin and John. m. 7.

Staff. Philip de Ippestanes who had brought an assize of novel disseisin

freehold, an indented deed in these words. (Here follows a deed in French by
which Waltier de Rydeware, Seigneur de Rydeware Hampstal, granted to his

at 20 marks.

Philip appeared afterwards before the Justices and applied for a writ of
" elegit" against the goods and chattels of the defendants. " Venit coram

Staff. The jury summoned to make recognition into the right of William
de Hampton, Prebendary of the prebend of Willenhale, in the church of St.

Wolvernehampton, which the said William had recovered against Simon
Levesone, of Willenhale, senior, and Geoffrey Levesone, of Willenhale, by
their default, as the right of his prebend, and which fell to him as an escheat,
inasmuch as Andrew, sou of Thomas le Brenner, of Willenhale, who held the
tenements of Thomas de Leghe, formerly Prebendary of the said prebend, by

temp. E. I, and from them the right descended to him as above stated.

Isabella appeared by attorney, and defended her right, and pleaded she
was not in possession of the entire manor, because one William de Bermyng-
ham, Chivaler, held the advowson of the church of Alrewych (Alldridge) and
one Philip de Stepelton held two water mills, and Richard le Chaumberleyn
held six acres of land within the manor, and they held them at the date of the
writ, viz., on the 20th March, 10 E. III. As Thomas could not deny this
the suit was dismissed, m. 162.

Matilda de Hodenet, appeared by attorney against Magister
William de Apeltre, Odo de Hodenet,1 and Margaret his wife, in a plea that
whereas the King had forbidden the said Odo and Margaret to prosecute a
suit against her in Court Christian before the said William, for not providing
them with competent sustenance, in food and clothing, according to the status
of the said Odo and Margaret, they had nevertheless prosecuted the same
plea against her against the tenor of the King's prohibition. The defendants

they held nothing by which they could be attached. He was therefore
ordered to arrest and produce them at the Quindene of Michaelmas, m. 170.

de Slyndon, had unjustly disseised Eva, daughter of William de Chetewynde,
of a messuage and forty acres of land and seven acres of meadow in Colton,
Blithefield, and Admundeston (Admaston). None of th e defendants appeared,
and the assize was to be taken in their absence, but was adjourned to
Lychefeld through defect of recognitors. m. 5.

Staff. An assize, etc., if Roger Selymon and Robert his son, Roger
Cogan, Henry de Tytnesore, Roger Wryde, Roger Snel, and Hugh his son,
Magister John le Rotour, Philip de Salt, and John his son, John le
Goldsmyth, and eleven others named, had unjustly disseised Ralph de
Stafford, Chivaler, of thirty acres of meadow, and ten acres of pasture in
Bradeleye. None of the defendants appeared, and the assize was taken in
their absence. The jury stated that Roger Selymon and the other defendants
had disseised the said Ralph, vi et armis, and they assessed his damages at
£190. The said Ralph is therefore to recover seisin, and the Sheriff was
ordered to arrest the defendants. A postscript states the defendants
appeared at Easter before the Justices and made fine with the King for the
said disseisin at 20d. each. m. 5.

Staff. An assize, etc., if John de Alclenham and John his son, had
unjustly diverted the course of a certain water in Covene, to the injury of
the freehold of Roger, the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, in Brewode.
The Bishop by Adam le Arblaster, his attorney, stated that whereas a certain
water called Covenebrok and another called Sarebrok, used to flow directly
to his mill at Brewode, and by which mill and with which flow of water he
used to grind day and night thirty quarters of each kind of corn ; the
defendants had lately diverted the course of the water of Sarebrok by a
trench, so that the water now flowed direct to the mill of the said John de
Aldenham in Covene, where it was so impeded and retained by the mill dam
of the said mill, that the water no longer flowed to the mill of the Bishop,
except at certain times, and at the will of the said John, and by which the
Bishop's mill would no longer grind more than six quarters of each kind of
corn working day and night. The defendants did not appear, but one
William Jones answered for them as Bailiff, and denied that theyjhad diverted
the water of Sarebrok, or done any injury to the Bishop, and appealed to a
jury. The jury found that the defendants had diverted the water and

ASSIZES, 11 E. III. 79

assessed the damages at 100s. It was therefore considered that the
nuisance should be entirely removed and the course of the Sarebrok water
restored to its ancient channel at the cost of the said John, and
by the view of the recognitors of the assize. A postscript states that
afterwards on the Vigil of St. Michael 16 E. III., the King sent to the said
William de Shareshull, directing him to transmit the record and process of
the said assize with everything relating to it, to be heard Coram Rege at the
Quindene of St. Michael next following, m. 5.

son of the said Richard and Juliana, and William, son of Clement de Willen-
hale, had unjustly disseised Robert de la Lone, of Hampton, of a messuage in
Wolvernehampton. Richard and Juliana answered as tenants, and conceded
the assize. The Jury stated that the said William, son of Clement, was
formerly seised of the tenement and gave it to the said Robert de la Lone, the
plaintiff, and delivered seisin of it to him, on condition that he should grant it
to the said William and to Petronilla the sister of the said Robert, to be held
by them and the heirs of their bodies, and after the said Robert had obtained
seisin of it, he refused to enfeoff the said William and Petronilla in it, and the
said William had entered into it for that reason, and they prayed the instruc-
tion of the Justices ; and the jury being asked if the said Robert held any
other status in the messuage than as above described, answered in the negative.
And as it appeared by the assize that the said Robert had no seisin of the
messuage except conditionally, the suit was dismissed, and he is in misericordia
for a false claim, m. 6.

Staff. An assize, etc., if Robert son of Ralph de Grendon, James de
Stafford, Chivaler, Hugh de Meygnil, Chivaler, Osbert de Hynkeleye, John
de Rocheford, Henry Danvers and Philip his son, and John le White, of
Waverton, had unjustly disseised Roger de Chetwynd, Chivaler, and Joan, his
wife, of the third part of the manor of Shenstone. The defendants did not
appear, but one John le Grom answered for them as their Bailiff and prayed
that the close writ might be read, and it appeared that in the clause
"post primam trans fretationem " the word " transfretationem " was written

a
tnffr in place of tnffr. The suit was therefore dismissed.1 m. 6.

Staff. An assize, etc., if Robert son of Ralph de Grendon and the same
defendants, had unjustly disseised Alice, formerly wife of Philip de Chetwynde
Chivaler, if a third part of the manor of Shenstone. The defendants appeared

suit was dismissed, m. 6.

Staff. An assize, etc., if Thomas de Wasteneys and Adam de Ruggele had
unjustly disseised Roger, the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, of ten acres
of land in Ruggele. The defendants did not appear, but one Geoffrey Cok
answered for them as their Bailiff, and the said Thomas answered as tenant,
and stated that the land in question was soil covered with the river Trent,
and that the course " ilium " of that river, was the boundary between Ruggele
and Coltoii, and that five acres of the land were in Colton and not in Ruggele,
and he prayed judgment on the writ on that ground, and if it was given against
him he stated that William de Wasteneys, his fat her, and whose heir he is, was
seised of the said five acres and had died seised of them, and lie had entered
into them as his son and heir, and as regarded the other five acres, they were
situated in Ruggele, and the vill of Ruggele was of ancient demesne of the
King where no writ would run but the lesser writ of right, and he prayed

ASSIZES TAKEN AT WoLVERNEHAMPTON BEFORE WlLLIAM DE
SHARESHULL AND OTHER JUSTICES ON THE MONDAY THE
FEAST OF ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE. 12 E. III. (21 DEC.,
1338.)

Staff. An assize, etc., if John, son of Richard de Oldynton, and Joan,
his wife, and Richard de Beckebury had unjustly disseised Thomas, son of
Richard de Oldynton, of a messuage and a carucate of land, four acres of
meadow, and two acres of wood in Oldynton, near Patleshull. John
answered as tenant, and stated that the tenements in question were formerly
in seisin of one Richard de Beckebury, father of the plaintiff Thomas, and
whose heir he is, and who was known by the names of Richard de Oldynton and
Richard de Beckebury indifferently (qui cognoscebatur per nomen Ricardi de
Beckebury et Ricardi de Oldynton indifferente), and the said Richard had
granted the tenements to him by deed, dated 9 E. Ill, under the name of
John, son of Richard de Beckebury, to be held by him and heirs of his
body, and with a clause of warranty, and he produced the deed, and he
prayed for judgment whether an assize would lie. Thomas did not deny the
deed, but stated that his father, Richard, died seised of the tenements, and he
had entered into them as heir of his father, and had been seised of them,
until the said John and the other defendants had unjustly disseised him of
them.

John denied that the said Richard, the father, died seised of the
tenements, and appealed to a jury, which found that the said Richard, the
father of Thomas, had enfeoffed the said John before his death, and that he
did not die seised of the tenements. The suit was therefore dismissed.
m. 3

Staff. An assize, etc., if William, son of Hugh de Wrottesleye,1 Thomas
Grey, Richard de Ovyoteshay, Thomas, his son, Ralph de Fulford, and John,
his brother, had unjustly disseised Walter, son of John de Perton, of thirty
acres of land, two acres of meadow, three acres of wood, and four acres of
pasture in Tetenhale.

William appeared by William de Hampton, his attorney, who also
answered for the others as their bailiff, and denied the disseisin, and stated
that the tenements were a parcel of the manor of Tetenhale, which is of
ancient demesne of the Crown, and in which no writ would run, but the
lesser writ of right, and he prayed for judgment on this point.

Walter did not deny that the manor of Tetenhale was of ancient demesne
of the Crown, nor that the tenements were a parcel of the manor, but he
pleaded that the said tenements, in the reign of Edward I, formed part
of the demesne lands of the manor, in the hand of the King, and not of
inferior tenure in the hands of the tenants, and thus the tenements were a free
fee and sueable at common law. William denied this and appealed to a jury,

1 This Hugh de Wrottesley was a younger brother of William de Wrottesley,
who died in 1313, and must not be confounded with Hugh de Wrottesley, the head
of the family at this date. (Deeds at Wrottesley.)

ASSIZES, 12 E. III. 89

which found that the tenements in question were in seisin of King Edward,
the grandfather of the present King, as part of his demesne lands of the said
manor, and not of inferior tenure, and they stated that the said William and
Thomas Crey had unjustly disseised the said Walter of them, and they
assessed his damages at 40s., and they said that the other defendants took no
part in the disseisin. Walter is therefore to recover seisin, but is in
misericordid for a false claim against the others, m. 3.

Staff. An assize, etc., if William de Neuport, the father of Agnes, wife of
Roger le Barber, of Bermyngeham, was seised in demesne as of fee of 15.9.
of rent in Little Barre when he died, and if John de Barre, senior, and
Ralph le Walkere had unjustly disseised the plaintiffs of it.

Roger and Agnes appeared by John de Gresbrok, their attorney, and
John de Barre also appeared, but the assize was adjourned to Lichfield,
because none of the recognitors appeared, m. 3.

Staff. An assize, etc., if Ralph Basset, of Drayton, Chivaler, Thomas le
Rous, Chivaler, Godwin le Taillour, and John Williames had unjustly
disseised Alice L' Archer of a moiety of the manor of Walsale.

Ralph and Thomas appeared, and one Richard Hod, answered for the
other defendants as their bailiff and denied the disseisin, and appealed to a
jury, and the said Ralph answered as tenant of the moiety, and called to
warranty the said Thomas, who was present in Court and warranted it to him,
and the said Thomas as tenant by his warranty stated that as regarded six
acres of the said moiety he had entered by the feoffment of Roger de
Morteyn, and other portions he held by the feoffment of Thomas Filot, Simon
Lyon, John Edward, Adam Trout, Richard Twenebrok, Nicholas Dyke, John
Leverych, Richard Paynel, senior, William le Parkere, and the Abbot of
Halys, and he denied that as regarded these portions the said Alice had suffered
any injury, and as regarded the rest of the half manor — he pleaded that an
assize would not lie because on the Quindene of St. Martin, in 19 E. I, a
fine had been levied between Philip Burnel, complainant, and John Paynel
and Margaret, his wife, mother of the said Alice, the plaintiff, deforciants, of
the manor of Walshale, by which the said John and Margaret acknowledged
the manor to belong to the said Philip, and for which the said Philip
conceded the said manor to John and Margaret, to be held by them for the
life of Margaret and after her death to remain to him, the said Thomas, and
his issue, and if he died without issue, to revert to the said Philip and his
heirs for ever, and the said Margaret was now dead, and after her death, he
had entered into the manor, by virtue of the said fine, and the said Alice,
claiming the tenements by hereditary right, had intruded into the said
moiety of the manor, and he had recently removed her from it as was
lawful. Alice did not deny that a fine had been levied as stated by Thomas,
but said that long before it had been levied, the said Margaret, her mother,
had been seised of the said moiety, in demesne as of fee, and whilst a femme
sole, had enfeoffed her in it, to be held by her and her heirs for ever, by
virtue of which feoffment she was seised of the said moiety until the said
Ralph Basset and the other defendants had unjustly disseised her. Thomas
replied that Alice had never been in seisin of the moiety before the date of
the fine and appealed to a jury, which found that the said Margaret had
been seised of the said moiety, in demesne as of fee, long before the said
fine was levied, and whilst sola had enfeoffed the said Alice of it, and the
said Alice was in seisin of it, by virtue of the said feoffment until the said
Godewine and John Williames, long before the fine had been levied, had
unjustly disseised her, and they assessed her damages at £100, and they
stated that the said Ralph and Thomas took no part in the disseisin. Alice
is therefore to recover seisin, and the said Ralph is to have the value of the
moiety of the Manor out of the lands of the said Thomas. Alice afterwards
remitted her claim for damages, m. 3, dorso.

the service which Walter, son of Thomas de Rydeware, exacted from him for
the free tenement he held of the said James and Isabella in Chirchesheyle,
and of which the said James and Isabella were inesne- tenants, and ought
to acquit him, and he stated he held of them a messuage and two virgates of
land, as of the right of Isabella, in Chirche Sheile, by fealty, and the service
of one penny annually, and the said Walter exacted from him fealty and suit
of Court at Sheyle every three weeks, and had levied distraints, by taking
the cattle of his plough, so that he could not cultivate his land.

James and Isabella admitted that the said Thomas held of them as of the
right of Isabella, the above-named tenements by homage and fealty, and the
service of one-fourth of a Knight's fee and a penny yearly, and service at
their Court at Sheyle every three weeks, and could not deny that they ought
to acquit him of the above service, but stated that he had not been distrained
by their default, and appealed to a jury, which is to be summoned for the
Quindene of Trinity, m. 331, dorso.

Staff. The Sheriff had been ordered to distrain Thomas de la Hyde,
Hugh atte Pyrye, John de Engleton, and John Giffard, and produce them in

Gunstone of Ralph de Thykbrom, and which services the said Ralph had
conceded by fine to Hugh de Gunstone, and likewise to distrain the said
Ralph to appear to complete a fine to be levied between the said Hugh de
Gunstone, complainant, and the said Ralph, deforciant, of a rent of 12s. and
the sixth part of a Knight's fee in Gunstone, as agreed between them, and
the Sheriff now returned certain sums into Court as proceeds of distraints
levied against the said Thomas, Hugh, and Ralph. He was therefore
ordered to distrain again and produce them at three weeks from Easter, and,
as regarded John de Engleton and John Giffard, the Sheriff returned they
were dead, and evidence was given that they were alive. He was therefore
ordered to distrain and produce them at the same time. A postscript states
that at that date the Sheriff made no return, and he was ordered to distrain
and produce them at the Quindene of St. Michael, m. 323, dorso.

his wife arraigned against Geoffrey Byroun and Anabel his wife, respecting
the church of Bydulf, which was vacant, the advowson of which Stephen and
Joan claimed ; and they stated one Vivian de Verdon and the said Joan, then
wife of Vivian, were seized of the advowson, temp. E. II, and had pre
sented one Roger de Verdon, who had been admitted and instituted, and by
whose death the church was now vacant.

112 EXTRACTS FROM THE PLEA ROLLS.

TAnabel stated that she claimed nothing in the advowson except as wife of
the said Geoffrey, and Geoffrey stated that one Aliiia was seised of the manor
of Bydulf to which the advowson of the church was appurtenant, temp. Eic.
I, and after her death the right descended to Hawise, Petronilla, and Dionisia,
her daughters and heirs, between whom the manor was divided, and likewise
the advowson, so that they presented by turns ; and Hawyse was married to
one Henry de Verdon, and from her and Henry the right of her purparty
descended to one Henry, as their son and heir, and from Henry to Henry, as
son and heir, which Henry had enfeoffed one John Tok, Parson of the church
of Grendon, of his purparty of the manor and advowson, who gave it to one
Vivian de Verdon and Joan his wife and the heirs of their bodies.

And the said Petronilla had enfeoffed one Eoger, son of Edward de Bydulf ,
of her purparty of the manor and advowson ; and from the said Eoger the
right descended to one Thomas, as son and heir, and from Thomas to Eoger,
as son and heir, and from the said Eoger to another Eoger, as son and heir,
which Eoger had enfeoffed John, his son, of his purparty of the manor and
advowson, and whose status the said Geoffrey now held.

And the said Dionisia had given her purparty of the manor and advowson
to one Thomas, son of Eoger de Bydulf, in frank marriage with Petronilla,
the daughter of Dionisia, and from the said Thomas and Petronilla the right
descended to one Eoger, as son and heir, and from the said Eoger to another
Eoger, as son and heir, which Eoger had enfeoffed of his purparty the said
John, son of Eoger, whose status the said Geoffrey now held ; and in this
way he held the status of two of the coparceners of the manor and
advowson ; and the said Stephen and Joan held the third share, as of the
right of the said Joan, arid he prayed judgment on the writ, viz., whether,
under such circumstances an assize of last presentation could be maintained,
and he stated that at the next vacancy of the church, after the partition
between the said Hawyse, Petronilla, and Dionisia, the said Hawise having the
first turn as eldest sister in conjunction with Henry de Yerdon, her husband,
had presented one Odo le Chapeleyii, who had been admitted and instituted,
temp. Eic. I ; and after the death of the said Odo, the said Eoger, son of
Thomas, holding the status of Petronilla, presented to the church one
Nicholas Coly, who was admitted and instituted temp. Hen. Ill, and after
the death of the said Nicholas, the said Eoger, son of Eoger, son of Thomas,
holding the status of Dionisia, being negligent and remiss, had permitted
Henry, son of Henry, son of Henry, to usurp the presentation, and he had
presented to the church one Magister Alexander de Yerdon, who had been
admitted and instituted temp. E. I, and after the death of the said
Alexander, the said Yivian and Joan, who is now the wife of the said Stephen,
recommencing the turn, had presented one Magister Eoger de Yerdon, who
had been admitted and instituted temp. E. II, and by whose death the
church was now vacant ; and this being the fifth vacancy since the partition of
the manor and advowson, its presentation pertained to him, the said Geoffrey,
as holding the status of the said Petronilla, and he prayed the usual writ to
the Bishop.

And the said Stephen and Joan, without acknowledging the seisin of the
said Alina, nor that Hawise, Petronilla, and Dionisia, were her daughters
and heirs, stated that the said Hawise, Petronilla, and Dionisia were seised
of the said manor, etc., which had been partitioned between them as Geoffrey
alleged, and that the said Hawise was married to Henry de Yerdon, and
likewise that Petronilla had enfeoffed the said Eoger, son of Edward, of her
purparty, and that the said Dionisia gave her purparty to the said Thomas,
son of Eoger, in frank marriage with Petronilla, daughter of Dionisia, but
they stated that the said Eoger, son of Edward, gave half an acre of land in
Bydulf and the third part of the advowson of the church, to the said Henry
de Yerdon and Hawise and their heirs, in exchange for certain other tene-
ments in the same vill, and the said Thomas and Petronilla, his wife, in the

same way gave to the said Henry de Verdon and Hawise, and their lu-iis
half an acre of land and the third part of che advowson in exchange tor
other tenements in the same vill, so that the £.aid Henry and Hawise were
sole advocates of the church in the time of King Richard, and had presented
the said Odo in that capacity. And Henry and Hawyse had issue, Henry,
son and heir ; and this Henry had issue another Henry, son and heir, which
Henry, after the death of Odo, had presented the said Nicholas Coly, whom
Geoffrey supposed to have been presented by the said Roger, son of Thomas.
And at the next vacancy he had presented the said Magister Alexander as
Geoffrey stated, but not by an usurpation, but as true patron and sole
advocate ; and afterwards the said Henry had given the advowson and other
lands and tenements in Bydulf and other vills to the said John Tok and his
heirs, and the said John had given the same advowson and lands to Vivian
and Joan ; and the said Stephen and Joan therefore in right of the said
Joan are sole advocates of the church, as they are prepared to verify by the
assize, and by which right the said Joan, in conjunction with Vivian, her
husband, had presented the last parson, and they prayed the usual writ to
the Bishop.

Geoffrey in his reply repeated the same story as he gave above, and
put himself on the assize. And Stephen and Joan did the same. The assize
was therefore to be taken, but was respited till the Morrow of the Ascension
through defect of recognitors. A postscript states that the process was
continued till the Octaves of Trinity, when a writ of nisi prius was issued
transferring the cause to be heard at Lichfield before R. de Bankwelle on the
Wednesday in the week of Pentecost, on which day the said Stephen and
Joan appeared in propria persona before Roger de Bankwelle with whom
was associated Richard de Stafford, Knight. And the said Stephen, being
solemnly called did not appear, and the assize was taken in his absence, and
the recognitors of the assize stated on their oaths that the said Vivian de
Verdon and Joan his wife, now the wife of the said Stephen, last presented
to the church of Bydulf, one Roger de Verdon, in right of the said Vivian
and Joan in a time of peace, in the reign of the King's father, and the said
Roger had been admitted and instituted on their presentation, and that the
church was now vacant, and they stated, that the vacancy began on the
Monday before Christmas Day last part, on which day the said Stephen was
in London, and they say that the church was worth according to its true
value, 40 marks. It was therefore considered that the said Stephen and
Joan should recover their presentation to the church, and their damages,
viz., 20 marks, the half value of the church, the " tempus semestre " not having
elapsed, and the usual writ was issued to the Bishop, m. 37.

Staff. Baldewyn, son of Alexander de Fryville, Chivaler, and Henry
Hillary, Chivaler, were summoned by Ralph le Botiller of Nortbury, Chivaler,
in a plea that they should permit him to present a fit person to the Prebend
of Wygynton and Cumberford of the church of St. Edith of Tamworde,
which was vacant, and of which the donation belonged to him. And the said
Ralph stated that one Philip Marmyon was seised of the advowson of the
Prebend temp. E. I, and had presented to it one Ralph de Hengham, who
had been admitted and instituted, and from the said Philip the right of the
advowson descended to Joan, Mazera, Matilda, and to Joan, formerly th<?
wife of Henry Hillary, as his daughters and heirs, and from the said Joan
the eldest, as she died s.p., the right of her purparty descended to the said
Mazera, Matilda, and Joan, formerly wife of Henry Hillary, as her sisters
and heirs, and from the said Mazera the right of her purparty descended to
one Joan, the wife of Alexander de Fryvill, as daughter and heir, and from
the said Joan to one Baldewyrie de Fryville, as son and heir ; and from the
said Matilda the right of her purparty descended to one Ralph le Botiller
as son and heir ; between which Alexander de Fryville and Joan his wife,

Ralph le Botiller, and Henry Hillary and Joan his wife, a certain composi-
tion was made, viz., that the said Alexander and Joan his wife, having the
tirst turn in right of the said Joan, should present to the Prebend when it
became vacant, and that the said Ralph should present to it the second turn,
and on a third vacancy that the said Henry Hillary and Joan should
present, in right of the said Joan, and so on in succession, and by virtue
of the said composition, the said Alexander de Fryville and Joan his wife,
had presented to the Prebend one Henry le Notte who had been admitted
and instituted, temp. E. II, and by whose death, the Prebend was now
vacant, and he stated that it now pertained to him, the said Ralph, to present
by reason of his second turn, as settled by the said composition, and that
he was impeded by the said Baldewyne and Henry, from whom he claimed
£40 as damages.

Baldewyne appeared in person, and did not deny that the said Ralph
ought to present this turn to the Prebend. And the said Henry appeared
by attorney, and stated he had issue by Joan, formerly his wife, so that he
had the right of presentation at the third turn by the courtesy of England,
n right of Margaret, daughter and heir of Thomas de Lodelowe, the heir
of the said Joan, formerly his wife, and saving his right of presentation to
the third vacancy, he did not deny the right of the said Ralph to present
this time. It was therefore considered that the said Ralph should recover
the presentation to the Prebend against the said Baldewyne and Henry, and
a writ was issued to the Bishop, and Ralph remitted his claim for damages.

isius, his predecessor, had presented to the said vicariate by virtue of his
Prebend, one William de Chaddesdene, in the reign of King Edward I, and

same Thomas, whilst Petronilla was in seisin of them, remitted and quit-
claimed to her all his right in them, to be held of him for the service of a
pair of gloves. And the said Petronilla afterwards alienated the same tene-
ments to one William de Pixstoke, whose status they now held in the tene-
ments, and they said that at the date of the fine, the said Thomas held nothing
in the tenements except the rent of a pair of gloves, and this they were
prepared to prove. Alice, in her reply, stated that at the date of the
fine the said Thomas held the fee of the tenements, and appealed to a jury
which is to be summoned for the Quindene of Easter. A postscript states
that the process was continued till Michaelmas, 20 E. Ill, when a jury,
delivered a verdict in favour of Alice, stating that at the date of the fine
Thomas held the fee of the tenements in question.

The tenants dispossessed under this verdict were Nicholas le Warner and
Alice his wife, who held an acre of land ; J ohn, son of John de Shorthull,
who held a rent of 3s. , and Alianora, formerly wife of Richard in the Hay,
who held one-fourth of a carucate of land. William, son of Richard de Venables,
who held two parts of two parts of a carucate of land, stated by his custos that,
one Robert de Melewych, was seised of the said tenements in demesne as of fee
and died seised of them, and after his death the said Thomas de Melewych entered
as son and heir, and assigned the said two parts to Petronilla to be held as
dower, and Thomas had afterwards released and quit-claimed to her all his
i ights in them together with other lands and tenements for the service of a
pair of gloves ; and the said Petronilla had enfeoffed William de Pixstoke of
the tenements, who had died seised of them, and after his death one Thomas de
Pixstoke had entered as his son and heir, and the said Thomas had enfeoffed
Richard de Venables his father, and as the said William, son of Richard is
now under age, he prayed that the suit might remain till his full age.

Hugh le Chapman, another tenant, stated he held his tenement, viz., half a
virgate of land, for term of his life by a demise made by Thomas de Pixstoke,
who also granted the reversion of it to one Richard de Venables, and by virtue
of which reversion he had attorned himself to the said Richard, and Richard
was dead, and the reversion descended to William, son of Richard, without

DE BANCO, 15 E. III. 119

whom he could not bring the said tenement to judgment, and the said
William was under age.

William de Wotton and Isabella, his wife, stated they held their tenement,
viz., one-third of a carucate of land, as dower of Isabella, of the dotation of
Thomas de Pixstoke, and by the assignment of Richard de Venables, and the
reversion of it belonged to William, son and heir of Eichard, who was under
age.

Richard de Cheseworthyn and Alice his wife, stated they held their
tenement, viz., one-third of two parts of a carucate of land, as dower of
Alice, of the dotation of Richard de Venables, of the inheritance of the said
William, and the reversion belonged to the said William, son of Richard, who
was under age.

John, son of William le Taillour, tenant of a fourth of a virgate of land,
did not appear, and Alice prayed for execution against him ; and William
Tynte and Elena his wife, stated they held the whole tenement, the said
John holding nothing in it, and they held it for the life of Elena, by a demise
made by Thomas de Pixstoke, who had granted the reversion of it to
Richard de Venables, and his heirs, and Richard had died, and the right in
the reversion had fallen to William, son and heir of Richard, without whom
they could not bring the tenement to judgment, and he was under age.

Alice, daughter of William (the Plaintiff) replied that William, son of
Richard, was of full age, and she prayed he might be viewed by the Court.
The Sheriff was therefore ordered to produce him in Court, at the Quindei;e
of Easter, so that the Justices might judge by his aspect, whether he was of
full age or not. A postscript states that the said William, son of Richard,
appeared in Court at the above date, arid as Alice could not deny he was
under age, the suit was to remain till his full age. m. 505.

Staff. William Trussebut, whom Ralph, son of Ralph Basset, of Chedle,
whom Richard Bassett, of Chedle, whom Ralph Bassett, of Chedle, and Joan,
his wife, called to warranty and who warranted the tenements to them,
appeared by attorney against James de Stafford, Knight, in a plea that he
should warrant to him the third of a messuage, and twenty-five acres of land,
and seven and a half acres of meadow in Dulverne (Dilhorn), which Alice,
formerly wife of Robert le Rotour, of Stafford, claimed as dower. James
did not appear and had previously made default, and the Sheriff had been
ordered to take into the King's hand land belonging to him, to the value of
the dower claimed, and the Sheriff now returned that the said James held no
lands or tenements within his bailiwick, and it was testified that he held
sufficient. The Sheriff was therefore ordered as before to take lands, etc.,
belonging to him into the King's hand, and to summon him for the Octaves
of the Purification, m. 516.

Staff. Thomas, son of Roger de Swynnerton, sued Robert, son of Roger
de Swynnerton, to warrant to him the manor of Adbaston, which John, son
of John Baldewyn, of Salop, claimed against him, and he did not appear^ and
had previously made default, and the Sheriff had been ordered to take land
belonging to him, to the value of the tenements claimed, into the King's hand,
and to summon him for this date, and the Sheriff now returned that the writ
reached him too late, and he was therefore ordered again by writ of " non
omittas propter libertatem Episcopi Cestrensis" to take lands belonging to him,
etc., as before, and to summon him for five weeks from Easter. A postscript
shows repeated adjournments of the suit up to Hillary term, 16-17, E. III.
m. 516.

Staff. Joan, formerly wife of Roger Purcel, of Bisshebury, sued Henry
de Bisshebury, Chivaler, and Amice his wife, for a third of the manor of la

£10 of rent in Bisshebury, and she sued Thomas atte Broke, of Bisshebury,

for a third of three messuages, sixty acres of land, thirty acres of meadow,
and forty acres of pasture in the same vill ; and she sued Thomas, son of
Thomas atte Brok, for a third of a messuage, sixty acres of land, thirty acres
of meadow, and sixty acres of pasture in the same vill ; and she sued Robert,
son of Thomas atte Brok, and Roger his brother, for a third of a messuage,
sixty acres of land, thirty acres of meadow, and sixty acres of pasture in the
same vill, as dower. The defendants appeared by attorney and prayed a
view, and the suit was adjourned to the Octaves of the Purification, m. 549.
Staff. Simon de Ruggeleye sued John Gentyl in a plea that he had
forcibly broken into his close at Longedon, and cut down his trees to the
value of £10. John did not appear, and the Sheriff was ordered to distrain
and produce him at the Octaves of Hillary, m. 495, dorso.

Staff. John, son of Hugh de Tymmor, sued John le Pypere, Chaplain, for
a book worth 40s., which he unjustly detained. The defendant did not

m. 495, dorso.

Derb. Richard de Curzon, Parson of the Church of Breydeshale, sued
Geoffrey de Skeftyngton, for four messuages, four acres and a half of land,
and twenty acres of wood, in Bredeshale (and which had been valued at
21 6'. 60?.), which Robert de Duyn gave to Sampson de Duyn, and heirs of his
body, and failing such to Hugh de Duyn, and heirs of his body, and which after
the death of the said Sampson and Hugh should remain to him as kinsman
and heir of the said Hugh, Sampson having died without leaving issue ; and
Geoffrey had called to warranty James, son of Nicholas de Audele, who had
been summoned in cos. Stafford and Derby, and who now appeared by
attorney to the summons made in co. Stafford, and prayed it might be shown
why he should warrant the tenements, and Geoffrey stated that one James
de Audethelega, the great grandfather of James, soil of Nicholas, and whose
heir he is, had conceded by deed to Geoffrey, son of John de Skeftyngton, the
father of Geoffrey, and whose heir he is, the manor of Breydeshale, of which
the tenements in question were a parcel, to be held by the said Geoffrey and
his heirs, and with a clause of warranty, and he produced the deed, and
James, son of Nicholas, did not deny the deed, but stated he held nothing in
fee simple by hereditary descent from the said James, his great grandfather,
but nevertheless as heir of blood of the said James, he warranted the tene-
ments to the said Geoffrey.

And Richard then stated that the said Robert de Duyn gave the tenements
to the said Sampson, by which gift Sampson was seised of them temp. E. I,
and he died s.p.^ and the tenements remained to the said Hugh, and
from Hugh the right descended to one Joan as daughter and heir, and from
Joan to one Richard, as son and heir, and from the said Richard to the
plaintiff, as son and heir.

And James, son of Nicholas, stated that the said Richard had no claim to
the tenements, because one Sampson le Duy (sic), his great grandfather, had
granted them to the said James, son of Nicholas, under the name of James
de Audideley, together with other tenements in the vill of Bredsale, to be
held by him and his heirs, and with a clause of warranty, and he called on
the said Richard, as kinsman and heir of Sampson, to warrant them to him,
and he produced the deed. And Richard denied that the deed produced was
the act of the said Sampson, and appealed to a jury and the witnesses to the
deed. The Sheriff was therefore ordered to summon a jury for three weeks
from Easter, together with Thomas de Meingware (sic Menilwarin?), Robert de
Stokef ord (sic Stokeport ?\ William Patryk, Patric de Heselwelle, William de
Wystanton, John de Baskervyle, Warine de Menigware, Knights, Walter de
Scaccario, Geoffrey de Skyftenton, Jurdan de Pivelesdon, Thomas de
Haurthyn, and Roger de Maclesfeld, Clerk, the witnesses named in the deed,
and it was to be noted that the same deed had been produced in another plea,

dorso.

Staff. John, son of Richard de Ripariis (Rivers), Knight, (militis), sued
Alexander, Prior of Tuttebury, for 90 marks, the arrears of an annual rent of
20 marks, owing to him. The Prior did not appear, and the Sheriff had done
nothing and made no return. He was therefore ordered as before to distrain
and produce him at the Quindene of Hillary, m. 347, dorso.

Staff. Thomas de Arderne, Chivaler, sued Thomas de Pype, in a plea that he
should render a reasonable account for the time he was his bailiff in Rydeware
Hamstal. The defendant did not appear and the Sheriff made no return. He

states that at that date the Sheriff made no return, and he was ordered to
attach him for the Quindene of Trinity, m. 324, dorso.

Staff. Roger, the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, sued John de Ryvers,
Parson of the church of Hambury, for a debt of £15, and John had not
appeared, and the Sheriff had been ordered to distrain Roger the Bishop to
produce the said John, his Clerk. And he now returned he had levied a
distress, and paid into Court half a mark as proceeds of it, and the Sheriff was
ordered to distrain again and produce the said John at the Octaves of Hillary.
A postscript states that on that date the Sheriff had no return, and he was
ordered to produce him at three weeks from Easter, m. 308, dorso.

Staff. James de Pype, who was of full age, sued Richard de Stafford,
Chivaler, for the manor of Pype, excepting two messuages, by a writ of entry.

Staff. Robert de Mere of Burton and Matilda his wife sued William, son
of William le Hunte of Burton, for a messuage in Burton-upon-Trent which
Henry le Lyttestere gave to Robert de Charteleye, and Agnes his wife, and the
heirs of their bodies, and which should descend to them by the form of the
gift ; and they stated that Robert de Charteley and Agnes were seised of the
tenement by the above gift, temp. E. II, and from them the right descended to
Matilda, their daughter and heir.

William defended his right and pleaded that the said Henry had not given
the messuage to Robert and Agnes as stated by the plaintiffs, and appealed
to a jury, which is to be summoned for the Quindene of Hillary, m. 143, dorso.

Staff. Agnes, formerly wife of Robert de la Shote of Dulverne, sued
Richard Aleyn of Dulverne for a third of a messuage and twenty acres of
land in Dulverne as her dower. Richard did not appear, and the Sheriff was
ordered to take the dower claimed into the King's hand, and to summon him
for this term. And the Sheriff now returned the writ reached him too late,
and he was ordered as before to take the dower claimed into the King's hand,
and to summon him for the Quindene of Hillary, m. 143, dorso.

Staff. William de Walton sued Amice, daughter of Gilbert de Gorsthull of

land in Lichefeld and Morghale by a writ of entry. Amice and Joan
called to warranty William le Champioun, who appeared by his attorney,
Richard de Engleton, and warranted the tenements to them ; and called to
warranty Richard le Bole and Joan his wife, and Richard de Fulfen and Amice
his wife, daughters and heirs of Gilbert de Gorsthull, who are to be summoned

122 EXTRACTS FROM THE PLEA ROLLS.

Nicholas near le Flesshomeles of London, bound himself to him by a deed in a sum
of £1,000 to be rendered in the church of St. Paul of London, viz., at the Feast
of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist next following, £500, and at the
Feast of St. Martin in the winter, £500, the said John although frequently
called up to pay the said sum to him had refused, and still refuses to do so,
and for which he claimed £2,000 as damages, and he produced the bond above
named.

John appeared by attorney and pleaded that he should not be required to
answer to the writ, because at the date named he was not the parson of the
church of Little Grantesdene, and appealed on this issue to a jury, and
Richard likewise ; and as Little Grantesdene is in co. Kent, the Sheriff of
that county was ordered to summon a jury for the Octaves of St. Martin. A
postscript states that the process was continued till Trinity term, 16 E. Ill,
when a jury from the co. of Kent returned a verdict that at the date of the
bond the said John was Parson of the church of Little Grantesdene, as
Richard stated in the writ, and they assessed his damages for the detention of
the debt at £60. Richard is therefore to recover his debt and the above
damages, m. 123, dor so.

Staff. Thomas son of William de Morteyn sued Philip de Stepelton for
two mills in Great Barre, and Philip did not appear and had previously made
default, and the mills had been taken into the King's hand, and Thomas now
claimed them through the default of the defendant ; and upon this one Robert,
son of Philip de Stepelton, appeared and stated that the said Thomas ought
not to have seisin of them, because he (the said Robert) was seised of them
in demesne as of fee and had demised them to the said Philip for his life only,
and the reversion of them belonged to him and to his heirs.

And Thomas stated that the said Robert should not be admitted to defend
the suit on this plea because at the date of the writ, namely, 4th July, HE.
Ill, the said Philip held the tenements in fee, and he appealed to a jury, which
is to be summoned for the Morrow of the Purification. A postscript shews
repeated adjournments of the case up to Trinity term, 18 E. III. m. 84,
dorso.

Staff. Richard Russel, who sued for the King, appeared against Richard the
Prior of Sondwall, Simon, son of William de Burmingham, William le Mercer,
and Richard and Roger his brothers, Magister John Blount, and Edmund le
Prioursprest of Sondwell, in a plea, that whereas the advowson of the Prebend
of Codeshale was annexed to the Deanery of the King's Free Chapel of St.
Michael of Tetenhale, and the King's beloved Clerk, William de Sheynton,
lately Dean of the said King's Chapel, had conferred the Prebend then vacant
on Louis de Chertelon, and the same Louis by virtue of the said collation
had been "adeptus" and the King had forbidden any one to make
appeals, citations, monitions or processes against the said Louis, or
to presume to attempt anything in derogation of the King's patronage ;
the said Prior and the others above named, intending to impugn the rights of
the King and of his Crown, and to enervate the King's right of patronage,
had made or procured certain appeals, citations, etc., and other impediments to
the manifest enervation of the King's patronage, etc. None of the defend-
ants appeared, and the Sheriff had been ordered to attach them, and had done
nothing, but returned they held nothing by which they could be attached,
and it was testified that the Prior held sufficient in the county ; the Sheriff
was therefore ordered to attach him for the Quindene of Hillary, and to arrest
the others and produce them at the same date. A postscript states that on
that date the Sheriff made no return to the writ, and he was ordered to attach
them for the Quindene of Trinity, m. 75 dorso.

Staff. Nicholas le Mareschal appeared by attorney against William, son of
John Gryffyn, kinsman and heir of William Gryffyn, in a plea that he should
warrant to him the third part of a messuage, two virgates and a half, and ten

DE BANCO. 15 E. III. 123

acres of land, and a rent of 10s. in Clyfton Camvile, which Alianora, formerly
wife of Williaii Gryffyn, claimed as dower. William did not appear, and the
Sheriff returned the writ reached him to late. He was therefore ordered to
summon him for the Octaves of Hillary on the prayer of the Plaintiff, and the
attorney of Nicholas was told by the Court that he must sue at his own peril.1
m. 43, dorso.

Staff. Sarra, formerly wife of Thomas deBenham, sued Kobert de Esnyng-
ton for a toft, four acres of land, and four acres of wood in Esnyngton (Essing-
ton), which she claimed as her right and inheritance. Robert did not appear,
and a day had been given to him by his essoign after the first summons. The
Sheriff was therefore ordered to take the tenements claimed, into the King's
hand, and to summon him for the Octaves of St. Hillary, m. 1, dorso.

1 The meaning of this is that the Court issues the writ to compel the attendance
of the warrantor, but takes no further responsibility in the matter.

CHARTULAIIY

OF THE

'AUSTIN" PRIORY OF TRENTHAM.

COLLECTED AND EDITED

BY

THE EEV. F. PARKER

INTRODUCTION 2'J5

INTKODUCTIOK

THE earliest religious house at Trentham (then called Triccingham,
or Trytenham1) was the .nunnery founded by Werburgh, daughter
of Wulphere, King of Mercia, towards the close of the 7th
century.2 Upon the same site, between 1087 and 1100 A.D., Hugh,
Earl of Chester, built a priory,3 which had in turn fallen into
decay, circd Stephen, to be restored, rather than entirely
refounded, by the bequest of Earl Ranulph, second of the name.4
It was a small priory, and of little interest apart from its position
in a royal Mercian demesne, and consequent bearing on the
relations between the Earls Palatine and Staffordshire.5 St.
Werburgh's memory would cling to Trentham, the place where
she lived and died ; and when her body rested finally at Chester
in the church (the future cathedral), which one Mercian Earl
dedicated, and another restored in her honour, and she became
the patroness of that city, a new link would be forged, connecting
Cheshire with the Mercian Earldom generally, and Chester with
Trentham in particular.

It was the policy6 of the Norman earls to renew that bond,
their claims upon the priory opening a way to retaining a claim
upon the manor ; and equally the policy of the Crown to check
every attempt to augment their overgrown power. Mr. Eyton

1 Camden's Britannia, folio 1789, Vol. It, p. 376, and Leland. Mr. W. de Grey
Birch (B.M.) in his "Saxon Abbots" gives Triccengaham, Trykingham, or Try-
tengham.

2 Bishop Tanner places her death c. 683 A.L>. ; Alban Butler about the end of
7th century, but speaks of her body being taken up and enclosed in a shrine in
708 A.D., nine years after its interment. This, supposing that her will was at once
carried out, which is most probable, would make 699 A.D., the more accurate date.
St. Werburgh is not to be confounded with the Queen of Ceolred. For further
particulars see Alban Butler under Feb. 3. St. Werburgh is given as first Abbess
by Mr. Birch.

3 Erdeswick says " I find a record that the Prior and Convent of Trentham
held the same (lands here) in proper use, and that they entered on them ' tempore
Eegis Eufi per Hugonem veterem comitem cestrie in puram et perpetuam elemosi-
riam.' "

296 INTRODUCTION.

held,1 that about 1070, Earl Hugh had been forced to surrender to
the King whatever hold the conquest had given him in Stafford-
shire (that he had some was unquestionable) , but, between 1087
and 1110 A. D., he obtained from William Eufus a grant of the
royal manor of Trentham, his next step being (as already noticed) to
rebuild the religious house so closely connected with his patroness, St.
Werburgh. From Hugh Lupus the manor passed to Earl Eichard,
his son ; Eanulph de Meschines, the next Earl, handed on
Trentham to Eanulph (2) de Gernons, "whose ambition (to quote
Mr. Eyton again) culminated in the Itevizes Treaty, which
guaranteed him, with few reservations, the whole of Staffs."
The death of Earl Eanulph/ poisoned by the contrivance of
William Peveril, put an end to the policy he had steadily pursued,
but from his death- bed in Gresley Castle, the charter was
addressed to Bishop Walter Durdent, restoring Trentham Priory,
and endowing it with 100 solidates of land in Blurton and
Cocknage, portions of that manor. The death of Stephen and
King Henry's ascent of the throne the same year, were followed
by a prompt resumption3 of the royal demesnes, including
Trentham, but, in enforcing so unpopular a measure, the king
would be careful to conciliate the church, and to confirm the last
will of his former friend the Earl. He seems, even, to have
enlarged the bequest,4 and taken Trentham under his own
protection to bar, the more effectually, any future claims. Witness
four royal charters in the following collection, one dated from
Oxford within a month of his first coronation, two at Northampton,
and the last at Brehull (Brill).

Had Mr. Eyton seen these charters he would have learnt how
accurate is his suggestion that John was the first prior, and might
have cited their authority in evidence, rather than Bishop
Tanner's. His notes on the Pipe Eolls (Vol. II, p. 48, S. H. Coll.)
point out that " we have accounts, more or less accurate, from 1 154
to 1195 A.D., showing in each case the Eermor, charging against"
his ferm of 30 li. from Trentham Manor, a payment immediately
following of 100s. to John, chaplain to the Earl of Chester, until,
in 1195, the entry runs thus, ' et canonicis de Trentham 100s.

numero, quos Johannes capellanus solebat habere, videlicet
Blorton et Cokenache, per breve regis.' " The sum here charged on
these appurtenances of Trentham, now first transferred to the
canons, who, for 40 years past, were represented by John, the
Earl's chaplain, and their Prior, denotes, manifestly, the original
bequest of Earl Ralph, confirmed by the King ; and it was the
death of John (as Eyton suggests), or possibly his incapacity,
considering the time that elapsed before a successor was nominated,
which made the alteration necessary; who succeeded him is
somewhat uncertain, perhaps the \ marc owing to the sheriff from
the Prior in 1201 was an old debt, for in 1203-4 (5 K John)
the Priory was vacant and in the custody of Alan the Canon, and
of Henry de Verdon, by order of Geoffrey FitzPeter the Justiciary.
I am strongly disposed to believe that the vacancy was eventually,1
if not immediately, filled by this same Alan ; certainly Alan,
Prior of Trentham, witnesses a grant of Longton land from Ralph
de Bevile to one Gilbert de Mere, which is attested also by the
above-named Henry de Verdon, by William de Erdinton, holder
of lands at Keele, as well as by Walter Coyne and R. de
Titneshovre, all of whom were flourishing in the reign of King-
John. From this date the succession of Priors may be traced, with
few omissions, down to the dissolution.

The list will be annexed, with the approximate dates, and the
authority on which they are given. The present chartulary has
been compiled for the most part from the original deeds in the
Trentham muniment room, which the Duke of Sutherland has
kindly allowed the Society to inspect. Some interesting charters
have been added from the Harl. MSS. at the British Museum,
particularly an " Inspeximus " of the Bull of Pope Alexander I [I,
enumerating the earlier benefactions to Trentham. Other grants
are taken from the Record Office, from Madox's " Formulare
Anglicanum," Dugdale's " Monasticon," and the Cole MSS. (B.M.)
It cannot claim to be a perfect or lengthy chartulary ; the
endowments of Trentham never rivalled those of St. Thomas*, NT.
Stafford, belonging to the same order of Austin Canons ; witness
its assessment in 1309 (3 Ed. II), towards provisioning the King's
army in Scotland, at twelve quarters of corn, sixty of oats, four
oxen, and thirty sheep, while St. Thomas could furnish thirty
quarters of corn, sixty of oats, six oxen and fifty sheep, and when

authority.

298 INTRODUCTION.

suppressed in Henry Vlll'th time, its total revenues did not
exceed £106 3s. $d. ; but the deeds themselves are of some local
interest, and have not yet been published, while, as already
stated, from its situation in so wealthy a royal manor, as St.
Werburgh's foundation, and the scene of her death, from its
connection with the Chester earldom in old times, and with one
of the most powerful dukedoms of the present day, Trentham
must always hold a position of its own in the history of the
county of Stafford. The Priory seal, stated in the Monasticon not
to exist, may be seen in a mutilated form, attached to two or three
of the Trentham deeds. A specimen in green wax, on a charter of
1280 A.D., is of " Vesica " shape, about three inches long, and, if
compared with other fragments, will be found to represent a
rudely executed female figure, seated, wearing a narrow and flat
topt head covering, the head encircled by a nimbus ; inscription,
" Sigillum . . . (Beate ?) Marie de Trentham." There is no
representation of the Holy Child on this, their earlier seal. Why
the Priory was dedicated " to God, St. Mary and All Saints " we
cannot decide, possibly it may be the same dedication as that of
St. Werburgh's nunnery in the 7th century.

NOTE. — Special thanks are due to the Rev. E. P. Pigott, Vicar of Trentham, through
whom access was first obtained to the charters ; to GK Menzies, Esq., Agent
of the Duke of Sutherland ; and to the clerks in the Estate Office for their
courtesy.

7 These occur in the Bp.'s Registry, Lichfield. Tho. Bradwall was Prior at the
dissolution.

8 Patent Rolls, 15 Ed. II (1321-2) declare that Trentham Priory advowson had
always, time out of mind, belonged to the kings of England. Nevertheless, on the
death of Richard de Lavyndon the last Prior, Thomas, Earl of Lancaster (asserting
that the advowson belonged to him), had induced the Sub-Prior and Canons to
elect Richard de Dulverne as their Prior. The King, however, pardons the said
Sub-Prior and Canons their trespass in making this election, and approves of R. de
Dulverne as the Prior of the said house. Dated at Pontefract, 25th March
(S.L.).

35 Ed. I (1307 A.D.) Coram Rege Rolls, Richard was Prior with Brother
William de Hereford, Brother Peter le Yelewe, Brother John de Verdon, Brother
Ralph de Leycester, Brother John de Colton, Brother Richard de Dulverton,
Brother Bichard de Wyco (Canons).

A.D.

3 As Eustace fitz John was slain in 1157, this deed must date between 1153
and 1157 A.D. (1155 probably).

4 This charter was produced by the Prior of Trentham in 21 Ed. I (129$ A.D.) ;
when summoned to show his right to Trentham Manor and advowson.

* Bp. Walter Purelent (L149-1161 A.D.).

9 From Tanner's statement that Abbot Thurstan succeeded Abbot. Ivo, circa
1149 A.D., we should conclude this charter dates from the commencement of W.
Durdent's Episcopate.

2 Arnulf, Bishop of Lisieux J Eyton's Itinerary, Hen. II).

3 Dated probably 1155 A.D.

Sack and SocJi mean that the manor had its own court, and power to enforce the
attendance of residents. " Singly," says Eyton, " Sac was the manor lord's right to
adjudicate between, to fine, or punish, the men of his manor, in his own court.

Soc, the power to compel the men of his manor to do suit and service at such
court.

" Tot, he considers to be the right of the manor lord, and his vassals, to buy or
sell in other markets free from toll." Team, or Theam, is said to be the right
of obliging any holder of stolen goods to name him from whom he got them.

Infangetheof, the right of trying a thief caught within the bounds of the
manor.

ob. 1180 A.D.

6 G-eoffrey Savage, ob. 1195.

again in 1179 A.D. (v. Eyton's Itinerary).

10 Alan la Zouche, 1285, ob. 1314, son and heir of Eoger la Zouche, and last of
the Ashby line.

This inspeximus is therefore K. Ed. IPs (not Ed. I's) and dated 1313 A.D.,
in which year the king and queen went to Frr nee to be present at the Coronation
of Louis X. This would account for the grant being dated at Dover.

3 This seems to contradict Mr. Eyton's suggestion that Newcastle was part of
Wolstanton parish ? Since Wolstanton had a pre-Comesday church, would not
K.C. be described as of that parish (rather than ot Trentham) if it were so?

Patent Rolls, 2 Ed. Ill, A.D. 1337-8 (Part 3, Memb 6), (S.L.).

Letters Patent reciting that whereas the king had given licence for himself
and his heirs to the P. and C. of Trentham, that they might acquire £10
of land and rent by the year, according to the true value of the same, as well
iii their own proper fee as in that of a stranger (lands holden of the king in
capite alone excepted), to have and hold to them and their successors for
ever, the statute of mortmain notwithstanding. The king therefore gives
licence for himself and his heirs to Thomas le Denior and Alicia his wife,
that they may give and assign to the aforesaid Prior and convent one
messuage and 16 acres of land with appurtenances in Trentham, which are
not holden of the king, and are worth by the year 4s, 4o?., as is shown by an
inquisition made thereupon by the king's mandate, and returned in the
king's chancery by Wm. Trussell, the king's escheator on this side Trent, to
have and hold to the same Prior and convent and their successors in value
six shillings, in part of satisfaction of the £10 worth of land and rent afore-
.said, and the king licences them to receive the same. [Saving to the chief
lords of the fee the services due and want.]

" One of the Ardens enfeoffed the Canons of Trentham in -| kt's. fee in
Fenny Compton, and they passed it to Richard Peche, lord of Wormleighton1,
to hold by the same service, as may be inferred from an Inquisition of 7 Ed.
I. : though in 20 H. 3 (1236), (but see deed preceding) no mention is made
of this interpolated tenure of the Canons of Trentham, for at that date R.
Peche held it immediately of the Earl of Warwick : but, about the begin-
ning of Ed. I. time, upon an agreement made (W. Burton's coll.) betwixt
Richard Prior of Trentham, and the Lady Hawisia, widow of R. Peche, the
title of the Canons of Trentham begins to appear : For the said canons, at
the request of Win. Bishop, of Norwich (Wm. de Middleton, 1278-1288), Sir
Hugh de Arden, Kt.,2 and others, granted to the, said Hawise, the wardship
of this part of Fenny Comptcn, with the relief of her son John, when he
should come of age, which John in 7 Ed. (1279) was certified to hold this
lordship of the Prior of Trentham, and he of Tho de Arderne, who held it of
the Earl of Warwick, by the service of ^ kts. fee, having one carucate in
demesne, and five villeins holding three yardlands, for which they paid
severall rents, and did suit at his court."

Patent Rolls (memb. 33) 11 Ed. Ill (1337 A.D.).

Letters patent reciting that whereas the king had granted licence to the
Prior and Convent of Trentham to acquire ,£10 worth of land, in spite of the
statute of mortmain (lands held "in capite" excepted). He now gives lea veto
Matilda Basset of Eton, to give to Trentham Priory four messuages, forty
acres of land, four of meadow, and eighty of moor in Over Elkesdon and
Nether Elkesdon, which are holden of the king in capite, and which the
king's official values at 35s. 4d. a year, to have and to hold for ever to them
and their successors in value for four marks, leaving to the chief lords of that
fee the services due and wont. (S.L.)

1 Adam de Elkesdon sued the Prior in 1253 A.D. for Elkesdon Manor. (Staff.
Hist. Coll., Vol. IV, p. 127.)

2 1256 A.D., John de Elkesdon, and the other coparceners, (Agnes Basset being one
of them) , sue the Prior of Trentham for over Elkesdone manor, excepting four mes-
suages, sixty acres of land, sixty acres of park, sixty of pasture, 100 of wood, and a mill,
saying that Adam, their ancestor, died seised of it. The Prior called to warranty
G-eoffrey G-riffin, who asked why he was so called and the Prior proffered a charter
of his father another Geoffrey, giving that manor to Trentham Priory for the good
of his soul and other evidence. Geoffrey then pleaded that his father had not
been of sound mind at the time it was done, but the jury decided that he was.

It ended in another trial, when Greoffrey was defeated by John and the co-
parceners, and ordered to compensate the Priory out of other of his lands.

In 5-6 Ed. I, Geoffrey complained that all the Elkesdon land, without exception
had been given to the coparceners, and his lands at Clayton Grffin assessed to the
Priory to the full value of the whole Elkesdon Manor, to his great loss. The
Sheriff had valued all Elkesdon at £15 2s. lid., and the excepted tenements at
£5 16*. 6c?., and it appeared the Priory now held land in Clayton valued at £8 3*. 6d.
(some small deductions being due on it however), land valued at 39*. Id. was
therefore still due to the Prior, and the Sheriff is to give it him out of Geoffrey
Griffin's estate.

In 7, 14, 17, 21, Ed. I (Vol. VI, p. 1) are further suits.
